Stage Feed Knob Rubber Caps (Optional)

}When the X- and Y-axis knobs are fitted with the rubber caps, the knobs

can be adjusted without slipping and fine adjustment is possible by

holding the knobs with a very light force. The knob rubber caps also

reduce fatigue after long hours of operation.

The U-SHGT thick type (thickness 5 mm) and U-SHG thin type (thickness

2 mm) knob rubbers are available.

To attach the knob rubbers:

First fit the larger knob rubber to the Y-axis (upper) knob from below it,

then fit the smaller knob rubber to the X-axis (lower) knob from below it.
